Welcome to the jungle

Visit the project turning an abandoned space into a wildlife haven.

- 

In most cities you can find lots of derelict ground — spaces that have been abandoned and are no longer in use.

They can be dangerous places, so they are often locked up. North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, a not-for-profit organisation in New York, US, has come up with a creative way to turn these neglected spaces into something that benefits people, plants and the planet. In an area underneath the Kosciuszko Bridge, they created a park called "Under the K Bridge Park", complete with a plant nursery growing lots of native New York species, which they offer to the local community.
